Re: FN-FORUM: HSBC payment provider - setup?

Hi

As others have said it's not the nicest system, but if you're using
classic asp, php or java then there are a very good set of examples
included on the CPI disk. If you're using asp.net you'll get a
standard 'we don't support that' reply from hsbc and have to work out
how to make it work yourself (you can do it quite easily by creating
a com wrapper).
You will need to set up ssl on your server and post details to HSBC
from your form, they then handle the payment processing and post back
to a url you specify.

Cheers
Adam
